Just under two minutes of music cooked with farfisa and 12-string guitars were enough for The Avengers to become a garage legend worldwide. Their 1965 anthem counts numerous appearances on –sometimes shady– compilations since the 1980s and we are now happy to present it on a 45, backed with its original B-side for the first time.

The band was formed in Bakersfield, California, and by 1965 they had gained much local notoriety due to the airplay of their records and the fact the got banned from playing at high school affairs…

‘Be A Caveman’ was the band’s second release, originally on Star-Burst Records. In time, the group would open for the Beach Boys, Raiders, Mamas & Papas and Animals at various big shows, but the Avengers would remain a big fish in a small pond.

First time 7” single reissue.
